Control structures and strategies have a critical influence on a power electronic converter’s behavior during disturbances. Most of the previous works in the field of pulsewidth modulation voltage-source converter (VSC) operation under unbalanced condition ...
Air-magnetic circuit breakers are widely used for short-circuit protection in dc electric railways or industrial plants. The well-known drawbacks of these breakers are mainly a slow breaking action, a short lifetime, and high maintenance costs due to the d ...
More “green” power provided by Distributed Generation will enter into the European electricity network in the near future. In order to control the power flow and to ensure proper and secure operation of this future grid, with an increased level of the rene ...
Islanded power networks comprising a small number of large power plants are subject to perturbations leading to important transients, and, hence need high performance governors. The design of these governors requires a detailed model of the system. This is ...

Power Electronics is expected to become a major component in the field of the global electric power management, as it is already today within most of electric power applications like variable speed drives or other conventional user applications. From the e ...
Since many years the EPFL Laboratory of Electrical Machines develops SIMSEN, a numerical software package for the simulation of electrical power systems and adjustable speed drives, in transient and steady-state conditions, having an arbitrary topology. SI ...
The paper illustrates a procedure based on the continuous-wavelet transform (CWT) for the analysis of voltage transients due to line faults, and discusses its application to fault location in power distribution systems. The analysis carried out shows that ...
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells show characteristics of high power density, low operating temperature, and fast start-up capability, which make them potentially suitable to replace conventional power sources (e.g., internal combustion engines) as ...
The paper deals with the subject of the source-identification of transient voltage disturbances in distribution system buses. In particular, a statistical procedure is proposed for the evaluation of the probability that a lightning flash detected by a Ligh ...
